Guest Performance

A sketch is a short, scripted comedy scene. Think Key and Peele or SNL. Some people might call it a "skit," but we never do. Chicago is the home of modern sketch comedy, and today, you can experience it at all Second City locations.

The Second City Mainstage 114th Revue

After getting a single suggestion, the cast of six professional comedians asks the audience to choose a detective. Enjoy as they invent a tale of crime, secrets, and scandals right before your eyes. The performers will keep track of facts, follow leads, and conclude who is the murderer, all while you take in a comedy experience unlike any you’ve seen before. During the show, they’ll employ the tropes, character archetypes, and influences of Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Sherlock Holmes, Nick and Nora Charles, Encyclopedia Brown, and just a dash of Scooby-Doo.

Clued In

Every week, a brand-new sitcom is born — live, unscripted, and based entirely on your suggestions. Chicago’s finest improvisers bring you secret crushes, nosy neighbors, wild misunderstandings, and over-the-top schemes — all the classic sitcom chaos you love, made up on the spot. No scripts. No reruns. Just nonstop laughs!

Improvised Sitcom

Best of The Second City

Got something to complain about? This show is half stand-up comedy, half audience participation. Each comedian performs their set, then opens the floor and encourages you to yell out your complaints about anything: work, relationships, life in general, whatever’s been driving you crazy. They’ll respond in real time, roasting, riffing, and finding the funny in whatever’s bothering you.

Stand Up & Complain

Millennials take on Generation X in a battle to see which generation is funnier. The audience votes at the end of the show. Featuring some of the best comics in Chicago, Hosted by Todd Glover
